Cumplió con objetivo. No doy 5, porque si bien entiendo bien inglés, hay pasajes donde hace falta subtítulos en español y no los tiene.
By Jerry Crane on 5/31/2026
Yes, I am enjoying the course. The instructor is doing a great job explaining what the various steps are. I am using a linux machine and because we use vscode for our stm32 development it takes a little time to convert the steps over to how it works in the vscode environment.
By Priyanka Joseph Coutinho on 4/29/2026
Highly recommended. brilliantly structured, making complex scheduling concepts easy to grasp, offering a logical and intuitive progression that simplifies complex scheduling. To enhance the experience, the final section would benefit from more diverse, real-world FreeRTOS mutex examples and video demonstrations of critical sections to better visualize resource protection. Than you.

Good course, altough watching the course a couple years after its release requires you to do some slight workarounds and there will be slight difficulties, such as the folder structures being different or some files just not being present when you install the latest version of x because those were moved into a seperate repo for example.
By Dhayanandhan on 4/15/2026
Excellent content. The step-by-step guidance on configuring RTOS for STM32 microcontrollers is invaluable. Complex topics are simplified without losing technical depth. This is a must-have for your embedded systems library!
By SK Subram on 3/26/2026
Excellent course with a deep dive into RTOS concepts and usage. The integration and debugging with SEGGER tool made the learning process very straightforward.
By Mustafa YETIS on 2/12/2026
visually explanations are very helpful to understand the concepts. example projects are good to understand but are very simple but we need more complex project like 7seg display - buttonpad- serial comm -etc -reading sensors through adc-i2c and spi. I wonder how the DMA is handled in RTOS. Content can be added like EventGroups, QueueSets, TaskParameters etc.
By Jake Li on 1/21/2026
The course was overall pretty in-depth. However, the slides provided were not up to date with the slides in the lecture videos. There were not also proper updates to the instructions on setting up the SystemView target codes. I also feel that the explanations for the last few exercises were as in-depth as earlier exercises.
By Brandon Drury on 1/5/2026
The course is basically college level. It's not perfect, but it's an outstanding way to get the basics. Much like a college class, you'll feel a lot dumber at the end of the course than the beginning, but you'll have the vocabulary and instincts to avoid many of the self-taught traps. The first 50% of the course is theory-heavy. That's not a terrible thing. The last half is example-heavy. I was initially discouraged by all the theory and not enough examples, but that problem was solved by the end. I'm happy enough with the course that I purchased multiple other lessons from this creator. Great work! Thanks!

Excelente curso con temas muy completos y muy bien desglosados. Justo lo que necesitaba para complementar mis conocimientos de FreeRTOS.
